CVG just got the buzz from Senior producer Noah Heller of Treyarch that the Wii version of Call of Duty 5: World at War will support the Wii Zapper, Nintendo’s very own plastic gun shell. The game is said to fully utilize its control mechanics with this device.

“It’s a special team at Treyarch - not some out-sourced team. Not some group living in another country. These guys live, eat and breathe Wii,” he said. No sniggering at the back. He went on: “They’re doing a lot of control work and developing a lot of special technology to make sure you’re able to find the enemy as quickly as possible, and we’ll be supporting the Zapper.

Unlike Call of Duty 3, Treyarch seems to be very dedicated to making the Wii version of COD5 as “current-gen” as possible, though we are not sure how the control scheme will work. Hmmm, I wonder what’s next….online play?! We probably won’t find out till E3 2008 which is only a couple of weeks away!
